Primordial Era: I, the Thirteenth Witch, had my innermost thoughts overheard by my older siblings.

Compared to Ye Kai seeing through their eavesdropping, being misunderstood by Ye Kai like this is not so bad!

Not to mention that this misunderstanding is of no harm to either them or Ye Kai!

Thinking of this, they pricked up their ears even more, trying to hear what else Ye Kai would say next.

At that moment, Ye Kai's thoughts arrived as expected.

[I was initially thinking of giving them a simple warning, but now it seems that it wasn't a bad thing at all; at least it taught them a lesson.]

Although the Three Pure Ones and I are all direct disciples of Hongjun, they look down on our Wu Clan from the bottom of their hearts. It's time to teach them a lesson.

[Moreover, the treasures they just absconded with—whether it's Laozi's Fiery Light Banner, Yuanshi's Central Apricot Yellow Banner, or Tongtian's Purple Thunder Hammer—are all quite valuable.]

……

Hearing Ye Kai's thoughts, Di Jiang and the others' eyes lit up even more:

"These three treasures? If I think so, then they must be right!"

"Hmm, these are the three treasures!"

"My younger brother has finally approved of our approach!"

"..."

As they thought this, a glint of light flashed in their eyes, and they had already made their decision in secret.

Dijiang bluntly stated, "As the senior brother, you constantly claim to represent the Primordial World and even try to use this to bully your junior brother. You hypocrites! You three, leave behind the Flame Banner, the Central Apricot Banner, and the Purple Thunder Hammer, and we'll let you go!"

"Very well, leave these three treasures behind, and we will let bygones be bygones."

"Today we will teach you, as senior brothers, how to care for your junior brothers!"

"..."

Upon hearing Dijiang's words, Zhurong and the others did not hesitate and immediately echoed him.

"You...you people! How dare you ask for three of our treasures so readily!"

Upon hearing Dijiang and the others' words, Yuanshi's face darkened even more, becoming extremely ugly!

To know,

Putting everything else aside, the Central Apricot Yellow Flag he previously abducted was one of the Five Primordial Flags, a defensive spiritual treasure second only to the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda in the primordial world.

Dijiang actually specifically asked for his apricot-yellow flag; he really knows how to ask for things!

"What? You have a problem with that?"

Seeing Yuanshi's reaction, Dijiang's expression darkened, and he unleashed a barrage of spatial power upon Yuanshi.

This was true not only for Dijiang, but also for the other ancestral witches.

Faced with the pressure from the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Yuanshi's face darkened, and he looked extremely unpleasant!

"You've gone too far!"

"Eldest brother, third brother, if the three of us attack together, they might not be able to stop us!"

As he said this, he was already inciting Laozi and Tongtian to fight a major battle against Dijiang and the others.

Despite the glint in Laozi's eyes, he made no response to Yuanshi's encouragement.

Even Tongtian, who had been furious just moments before, couldn't help but ponder.

"Third brother, don't you even listen to your elder brother anymore?!"

Seeing Laozi and Tongtian's behavior, Yuanshi's expression darkened, and he immediately shouted coldly at Tongtian.

Hearing Yuanshi's cold rebuke, Tongtian's eyes flickered slightly. "Second brother, I think what Dijiang and the others said earlier is right. As an elder brother, one should cherish one's brothers, not coerce them with righteousness."

When Dijiang and the others said those things, Tongtian felt a pang of emotion.

Now, facing Yuanshi's cold rebuke, he felt even more deeply moved.

In contrast to the twelve ancestral witches of the Witch Clan who cherished their younger brother Ye Kai, the Three Pure Ones had a completely different situation.

As the last of the Three Pure Ones, he not only received little care, but was often ignored or even scolded!

That's why, from the very beginning, he envied Ye Kai from the bottom of his heart.

Ye Kai has twelve older brothers and sisters, and all twelve of them love and care for him very much.

Even when Ye Kai seized treasures like the Treasure Sharing Cliff, Di Jiang and the others didn't say anything, but instead unanimously protected Ye Kai behind them!

These are true brothers!

"What did you say? I threatened you? Do you want them to steal your treasure?!"

Upon hearing Tongtian's words, Yuanshi's eyes blazed with fury, filled with resentment.

Even more so,

This time, his hatred for Tongtian far exceeded his hatred for Ye Kai.

Tongtian, his third brother, actually dared to oppose him!

This is absolutely outrageous!

"Isn't that so? You failed to oppress the Wu Clan with your primordial power before, and now you're using your status as my elder brother to coerce me and make me your tool!"

Upon hearing Yuanshi's cold rebuke, Tongtian's expression darkened, and he no longer cared about any brotherly affection.

"You...how dare you say such a thing to me? I'm your older brother!"

Upon hearing Tongtian's words, Yuanshi's face darkened even more, becoming extremely ugly!

"You are the elder brother, that's true, but shouldn't an elder brother love and care for his brothers? But what you do is always try to coerce me into doing things for you."

Now that the pretense of civility had been broken, Tongtian no longer cared about saving face and immediately said coldly.

Seeing Yuanshi and Tongtian's performance, not to mention others, even Ye Kai was stunned.

Why are they arguing?

Unexpectedly, today's events have prematurely opened the rift between the Three Pure Ones.

[Those brothers have really gone too far!]

……

Thinking of this, Ye Kai couldn't help but sigh.

The future separation of the Three Pure Ones is not without reason; it's not just about the three religions, but also, and most fundamentally, their personalities!

"You're right, young man. Those brothers have really gone far enough!"

"The Three Pure Ones will split up in the future? They deserve it!"

"..."

Upon hearing Ye Kai's thoughts, Di Jiang and the others were taken aback, and then made their own decision.

They must be kind and respectful to each other, and never do anything that would please their enemies and cause pain to their loved ones.

At this moment, Lao Tzu, who had been silent all along, finally spoke, "You two, that's enough. Don't you feel ashamed arguing here?"

Upon hearing Laozi's rebuke, Yuanshi's expression hardened slightly, realizing that there were still quite a few people present.

At this moment, everyone who saw the three of them arguing couldn't help but have strange expressions.

Seeing this, Yuanshi's expression changed, and a surge of hatred for Tongtian grew in his heart. "If he hadn't talked back just now, how could I have been in such a humiliating situation?"

"Brother, we mustn't let our morale plummet!"

As he said this, Yuanshi tried to persuade Laozi.

but,

Despite Yuanshi's encouragement, Laozi didn't even lift an eyelid.

He had been keeping a low profile, considering his current strategy.

After all, they hadn't yet refined either the Taiji Diagram or the spiritual treasures that had just been taken away.

If they were to actually fight Ye Kai and the others, they would definitely suffer losses.

Not to mention that they were all Hongjun's personal disciples.

Now that Hongjun has just divided the treasures, they've already started fighting amongst themselves.

Neither their faces nor Hongjun's face looked good!

These barbarians like Dijiang may not care about these things, but they had already become disciples of Hongjun before the sermon at Zixiao Palace, so it was impossible for them not to consider these matters.

In comparison, the three unrefined spiritual treasures seem insignificant!

"We have the Tai Chi diagram and other treasures. These three treasures are of little use to us. It would be better to let this matter drop and avoid damaging our harmony."

Thinking of this, a glint of light flashed in Laozi's eyes, and he took out a small crimson flag.

That small crimson flag is undoubtedly the Flame Flag that flies off the ground!

"Brother, are you really going to give it to him?"

Upon witnessing this scene, Yuanshi's mind went blank, filled with resentment!

"It's just a magical treasure; consider it a gift to him."

After saying this, Lao Tzu, without the slightest hesitation, threw the Flame Banner off the ground directly at Ye Kai.
